Category: Refugee Crisis

George Soros was talking to The New York Review of Books about how refugees are streaming through Europe, but he did not want to talk about the fear that some people feel over the way that people are coming in from the middle east. George Soros is a billionaire who understands how to spend responsibly, and he wants to see the countries in Europe that are taking on refugees spend their part to help these people.

The vision that George Soros has for Europe is pretty different from what most other people have because he knows that refugees can change everything for people if they want to. These people on http://www.biography.com/people/george-soros-20926527 are going to make it very easy to make money because they are industrious and will start their own businesses. The problem is that not every refugee is going to do that. These refugees are going to need to get some help when they turn up the first time, and the countries in Europe need to have an economic plan.

The economic plan that George Soros is talking will help these countries pay themselves back over time, and it will help them have a bigger tax base when they take on people who are moving in from out of the region. The region is a really big place where people will be able to make their way to a community that will welcome them, but all the EU leaders have to agree to this kind of plan. George Soros has a history of talking to world leaders, and he will get world leaders to understand where he is coming from so that he can help the refugees.

George Soros knows that some of the countries in Europe would do well to welcome these people because they will help with debt, and they will pay in taxes something that even some Europeans will not be able to pay. The people who are coming to Europe need some assurances, and they need to get those assurances from the people in government who are supposed to protect them. The protection that people get is going to come in the form of money that helps them get on their feet. These people are going to move fast from the streets to a lifestyle that is easy to maintain. They will start businesses that help everyone, and they will become members of society quickly. The fear in Europe needs to be replaced with a plan that George Soros is touting. The plan will help everyone get what they need.

Billionaire philanthropist and financier George Soros is calling on the European Union to implement a comprehensive plan to address the increasingly urgent alysum crisis, urging member states to work together rather than focusing on their own interests.
In a September 29 Marketwatch article Soros said the EU’s failure to develop a common asylum policy has turned the influx of refugees into “yet another political crisis”. Soros outlined a six-point plan to address the situation, stressing that the solution is to establish effective governance and regulate the refugee inflow so it occurs at a pace commensurate with the EU’s ability to absorb the additional population.

Point one of Soros’ plan specifies that the EU must accept a minimum of a million refugees annually for the forseeable future, with the EU providing member states with 15,000 euros ($16,800) per asylum-seeker annually for two years to cover housing and other costs. These funds should be raised with the issue of long-term bonds, Soros said, noting that this would create a fiscal stimulus in the European economy.

Replacing the current patchwork of 28 separate asylum systems with a single EU Asylum and Migration Agency is the heart of the third point of the plan. This would streamline procedures and establish rules for employment, entrepreneurship, and consistent benefits, Soros said.

Points four and five of the George Soros plan include establishing safe channels to get asylum seekers to their destination country, extending safe avenues to the frontline region, cooperating with the UN Refugee Agency to establish processing centers, and establishing global standards for the treatment of asylum-seekers and migrants.

The final point of Soros’ plan calls for a mobilization of the private sector, reaching out to churches, businesses, and NGOs to act as sponsors as the EU absorbs and integrates more than a million refugees each year.

Soros noted that his plan differs substantially from that of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who also recently proposed a six-point plan. Soros said Orbán’s plan subordinates human rights and threatens to divide the EU, while his plan reflects a “genuinely European asylum policy” that can put an end to panic and suffering.
